Motionless
Sammy sat motionless in the garden. She wore a far away expression. When she woke this morning she came to the conclusion not to move one inch from this bench. She had shut everything down inside of herself. It’s best not to think. The lesson that settled within her heart was never to take people at face value. Apparently her godparents have the ability to lie with a smile. She realized she should be more selective with her handling and giving of information.
“Sammy!”
Margie stood beside her, hesitant to touch her. The brown eyes turned to look at her but she wasn’t really seeing at her.
“Child, you can’t sit out here all day. Why don’t you go to the shop and do a bit of creative work or go for a drive. It might help with whatever the problem was.”
“I’ll consider the notion.”
Sammy looked hard at the garage a plan forming in her mind.
Peter looked ti
Deceived by TrustSammy opened her eyes. At first it was pitch black. She blinked her eyes a couple of time and once she focused she saw the candle light in front of her. Mesmerized her eyes followed it.“Are you ready?” asked the soft soothing voice.“What must I do?”“Go on a midnight quest. Search for the answer that isn’t there. Go now.”Sammy threw the blankets from her body. Her feet landed on the floor. Walking towards the window she opened it and stepped through it. Leaving the grounds she walked up the road.Peter had been watching the house since he left. The night was quiet but the clouds of earlier stayed within the sky almost waiting for the time to strike. Before he made a move on her he waited to see if someone was following her.The darken car came out of nowhere. It stopped beside Sammy. The driver climbed out and helped her inside.Peter followed the car that
Trust and LiesSammy dislodged her from him looking into his face. She read and understood the trueness of his emotions reflected on his face. Reaching out she brushed the grim line away from his mouth.“At first his intent was menacing but then I learnt he was family.”“Are you sure he is trustable, love?”“You must ask Charlie since she married him. Where is my flaky cousin anyway? Come to think about it, where is your sister? It is not a good sign if they are both missing in action.” Her fear seemed gone now.“Love, I don’t care where either of them are. You are most important. Will you be okay here for a while? I just want to step out for an hour or so?”“Where are you going?“I just want to check something. Don’t leave the shop until I am back.”Sammy sat in front of her window looking through it watching the coming and goings of the hab
Tension Sammy looked at the group of people. She saw and felt the tension underline with aggression so thick she could barely breathe. She looked at them individually but it was Peter, tall looking powerful with warmth in his eyes when he looks at her that held her attention. There was something magically about his gaze.“What is going on here?”“I came from afar with a tale I want to tell you. Are you strong enough to listen?”“Sammy you should rest. It was a long day.” Margie said.“I am fine, I am just hungry.” She answered but kept her eyes on Peter.“Sammy listened to your godmother. She knows what’s best for you.” Harold was gruff with insistence.“But,”“Harold is quiet right, Sammy.”“I am curious now.”“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you the tale tomorrow.”Peter smiled sw
CrossroadsPeter wiped the tears away.“I hope so. I just realize my own life is a blank. I also realize I shouldn’t be this cozy with you. You belong to another. From the first I saw you I found your presence irresistible.”“My wife won’t mind. I am learning that she is a remarkable woman. On this moonlight night you are helping me untangling a path. I trust you with this precious tale Sammy.”“I am honored. May I be this forward and ask if for only tonight, I can sleep within the strength of your arms?”“You may, Sammy. Tonight I’ll probably sleep too.”Sammy giggled while making herself comfortable.“Share the joke, please.”“Uncle Harold will have a fit finding me here. For tonight, I don’t care.Peter wrapped his arms around her settling her against him.Sammy was sound asleep when the nightmares invaded her dee
Anew…question of Trust“Trust me when I tell you this but my wife won’t mind. Your personalities are remarkable the same.”“That may be true but I bet she won’t like what was whirling around in my mind. On top of it all you are the center of it all.”“Tell me what’s on your mind, Sammy.”“It’s rather personal.”“You can be as honest to me as you feel comfortable.”“That’s the problem. Common sense dictates that I shouldn’t.”“Use your heart.”Peter looked into her serious eyes and then right in front of him they started twinkling again.“A heart can get you into trouble.”Sammy hid her face but he just knew her mind was working wickedly again. His suspicions were confirmed by her question.“A fantasy can be a reality, right?”“If both pa
Watchful …SearchingSammy looked in the corner of the chalet suddenly in a kind of trance. The picture plays of like a verbal movie she can clearly hear…”My name is Victor Jansen. I am a thirty something man, I have a certain chosen hectic social media life. I strongly believe in getting what I want and need, no matter the cost. Social media is my hunting ground the tennis courts where I game set and match my relationship as it stands. There is a very specific reason or rather person for my predatory behavior,” she said the words without being aware.“Sammy,” Peter looked intently at her but suddenly realized not to disturb her. He sits motionless while listening intently.“I am Victor Jensen I am a very athletic, long leg man, with golden brown boys-cut hair in the latest fashion. I must keep up with the trends to match my hunting skills. In the matter of hunting, there is certain deviousness beh
RestlessSammy was sleeping very restless. She felt deeply tired. It was like she was in a continuous sleeping cycle that won’t end. When she found her surface to the consciousness it was like she was being dragged back deeper into sleepiness.Within her continuous falling darkness she saw the silhouettes of three people watching her, smiling with her, then they turned and disappeared but leaving her with the instinctive sense they loved her.“Wait!” she called trying to catch them.Sammy realized she couldn’t breathe. Her worst fear came alive when she actually realized someone was seriously trying to smother her with her own pillow. Trying to fight him but his strength was immense on her face. She felt her body being pushed into the bed. A name seared through her being and she cried with a desperation that sizzled through her blood burning her with the intensity.“Peter!” she called.Her body gr
Kismet…Rings of Truth“Peter! Sneaky,” she burst out laughing. She leaned forward kissing him on the lips.“Happy, love?”“I thought I lost them.”“I had them all along. First I was hurt thinking you really didn’t want me. Then I decided not to chase love, your affections or attention. At first you give yourself freely to me. I was the happiest man alive. Then I was confused especially after that phone call. I was furious with the thoughts if you don’t want me then what’s the point. I become further confused when I found you at Anna’s place being a gypsy of the rocks. It’s clear you didn’t recognize me but at the same time it was clear we couldn’t stay away from each other. So hope starts to grow in my heart. What I did realized instantly I should always be aware of your next action that always involved running or disappearing.”“I did te
